Discord & Chat Images
by denisnumb
Discord & Chat Images links the in-game chat with a Discord channel and lets server owners customize how chat images are shown.
What it does
Messages typed in the game chat are relayed to a Discord channel through a bot, and messages from that channel can appear in the game chat. The bot must be created in the Discord developer portal with Privileged Gateway Intents enabled on its Bot tab. On the server it also needs permission to see channels, post and reply in threads, embed links, attach files and pin messages.
Image display in chat can be customized, and the configuration is described on the project wiki with examples. A webhook mode is available for sending messages without a full bot connection, and the wiki covers markdown colored text and general chat customization. Translations are welcome; the author asks contributors to read the guide before adding a language.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric. It is server required, with the client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it. Some features work only when the mod is also installed on the client, and others work with the mod installed on the server alone. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The latest file, 2.8.0, was released on 2026-08-30.
Key features
Two-way chat relay
Game chat and a Discord channel exchange messages, so players and Discord members can follow the same conversation.
Bot setup
The bot needs its Privileged Gateway Intents switched on and the listed server permissions before the relay starts.
Chat image display
How chat images are shown in the game can be adjusted through the configuration file.
Webhook mode
An alternative mode sends messages through a Discord webhook, as described on the wiki.
Automatic shutdown
The connection closes when the host exits, so the bot does not stay online after the game stops.

How it compares
Chat Reworked is client and server, released under the MIT License, and for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it changes chat on both sides. Simple Discord Link is server-side only, released under the MIT License, and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.5 – 26.3, so players join without installing anything. Discord & Chat Images is not open source.
